• Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.
• Photographed under neutral lighting to show accurate colour and clarity.

This spessartine garnet specimen is covered with intergrown crystals that catch the light from every angle. Deep reddish orange colour combines with exceptional lustre and natural transparency around the edges, giving the piece a bright internal glow that becomes even more noticeable when illuminated.

Rather than a single crystal, this specimen is an intricate cluster of tightly packed garnets showing sharp geometric faces, stepped growth patterns and strong reflectivity across the entire surface. Material from the Navegadora Mine has not been recovered for many years, making older specimens increasingly difficult to replace once they enter private collections.
